6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ULANZI ST-06 Phone Tripod Mount, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the mount in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep it in its original packaging or a protective pouch when not in use to prevent scratches.
• Inspection: Periodically check all moving parts, screws, and clamps for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure all connections are secure before each use.

7. Troubleshooting

• Phone Not Secure: Ensure the one-click button is fully released after inserting the phone, allowing the clamp to firmly grip the device. If using a bulky phone case, it might reduce the grip; consider removing the case for maximum security.
• Difficulty Adjusting Angle: Loosen the adjustment knob sufficiently before attempting to change the pitch angle. Do not force the adjustment if it feels stiff.
• Accessories Not Fitting Cold Shoe: Verify that your accessory is cold shoe compatible. Ensure it is slid in completely and any locking mechanism on the accessory is tightened.
